The announcement that the Nile has reached its mark
Short description
Fermo Carrara recounts witnessing with Giovanni Antonio Soderini the shouts of men who no longer announce the rising levels of the Nile, but rather the attainment of the mark indicated by the nilometer with songs and drums.

Il giorno avanti prima gli homini che andavano per la città gridando il crescimento dell'acqua, non più gridando il crescimento ma con diversi figlioli con banderole poi con canti soni di tamburini andavano annonciando che il nilo cià arrivato al suo segno
